p. s. s. and don't get me started on the GDP, PPP, CPI, GNP etc. Pakistan's economy is worse than Zardaris era at the moment. The only thing that's working right this around is the army.

As much as we'd like that to happen, that ain't happening bro. These crooks will loot Pakistan for another 3 years then run away to Jeddah where there really businesses are. I just hope the army doesn't let them run away this time.

Lesson is that when Price is going up every day and have reached certain Value then it is not time to buy rather sell, How you know know when it has reached or near that celing?, simple compare it with other Products where element of speculation is less,

DHA Phase 7 - 2xKanal plots

---

Respected CMY - You had promised to respond to my request below and since your opinion really matters to me, I look forward to some input.
____

Respected CMY sb,

I have requested this info earlier but I appreciate you have been very busy and overwhelmed with so many questions here.

Regarding the 2 kanal query above, I have read this on this platform before in some posts about phase 7 2xkanal plots being very underpriced. I do not have plans to construct immediately (not before 4 years atleast) and I have one kanal plot in phase 6, which I can sell and buy 2xkanal in phase 7 in order to construct home on it later. The price is almost the same with just a very small or no difference.

Do you think this will be a good decision? I am quite tempted as this gives me double the amount of space just a few minutes ahead of where my current one kanal plot is. Also, given that most new phases have very limited 2 kanal plots (i.e. some in phase 8 and none in phase 9) also indicates that 2 kanal plots may become a rare thing in the next few years.

Although, I will eventually construct but just in case, do you think in case I change my mind later and want to sell, I will make some gain on phase 7 2xkanal plot? If so, how much do you expect in 5 years for a 2xkanal plot that will cost me around 185 to 190 lacs now?

I will be indebted for your response just once, please!

Dear CMY,
well i am just in confusion. First i thought i will hold the Phase 9 5 Marla File and wait for the ballot but now after comments from your office team i got confused.
i bought file in 18.50 (minus commission etc.) so what should be my next step.
will i get 30,31 (Without Development Charges) just after ballot (even i get not a good location plot.) ?
i can hold the but i dont want to hold for a year...just want to rotate...

Phase 9 Lahore

Dear Choudry Mujahid Yasin,
First of All i pray & wish for yours health.
Still i remember our meeting held in yours Lahore office 2009 (with a cup of tea), and yours strong arguments sport to purchase phase 9 Res file @ 15 Lac.
I miss the train and investment with another LDA scheme after five year I loss my capital value (Inflation).
But now i am with you that Phase 9 Lahore Commercial 8 MB file are hot cake like phase 6 MB now a days. Its prices and location are at main MB 150 Fit Road.
What are your suggestion for prices after Ballot for 8 Marla Commercial plot? What are yours views about its value after three to five years time frame? when its position will hand over?
Regards,
Khalid

Grand Avenue Development in Full swing & investment Opportunity

---

Dear Respected Forum Members

Please check the below link for development work in Grand Avenues.

http://www.uda.com.pk/grand-avenues/development-work/road-work/#


Development work in Grand Avenues is in full swing and the news is that they will give possession in August 2015 for 1 kanal plots in block A(Confirmed from their office).

It is a least discussed scheme at a very strategic location next to Bahria Nasheman on main road and prices are low in the market. It is approved now from TMA and not included in LDA illegal list anymore.

I request forum members to discuss the investment options in Grand Avenue. I have spoken to few dealers and they said that now the prospects are good and prices will increase sharply within a year once they give possession in A block.

Regards
Ahsan Ali

I am looking for a good investment opportunity. And I want to stay within DHA property investment.
Under current market conditions:

1. What is a good phase to invest in, starting with 5 to 10 marla land size? And something that you don't have to hold for eternity.

2. Someone told me that Phase 8, 10 Marla is a good investment as the price will go to 1.25 Crore if it is held for 1 to 1.5 years period. Please advise.

3. What is a good way to find out about charges, taxes etc. that we have to pay to DHA. So that total figure of purchase including price of land plus extra charges can a estimated.

4. Is there any tax called CVT tax while purchasing property and is 5 marla exempt from it?

5. There is no price history of any plot of file that is there out in the market. How do we know that we are not buying land at inflated price? Without know the price history it is difficult to determine the real value of land.

Any response is appreciated.

DhaPhase 9 5 marla

*Reposted*

Salaams CMY Bhai

Inshallah u r doing well.
According to ur previous post the prices for 5 marla AFTER Ballot would be:
30-32 Lacs for bad locations and 40-42 for good locations. If i am not wrong u also said that these are WITHOUT development charges.

I personally went to ur DHA office and one of ur team member said to me thats not possible and YOU are mistaken as these prices are including development charges. He said repeatedly that I must have missed reading ur comment "with all dues clear" in the post related to After ballot prices.

He said that no way a PLOT can touch even 40 (with all dues clear) as plots on ground (with possession) in Phase 9 TOWN are at that prices (45-55 lacs). So phase 9 prism PLOTS will take a long time to get to these prices (32+7=39 OR 42+7=49).

i have witnessed this confusion amongst ur other readers too so PLEASE remove this confusion for us. The prices u quoted are with development charges or without them.

Hope all is well!

DHA Multan property tax (2%)

---

AoA
Can some one clarify the impact of property tax when buying files. I am refering to 2% tax imposed by govt in last budget
- Who needs to pay it. Buyer or seller?
- When is it required to be paid?
- The price quoted on dha website includes this tax or not? E.g the current price for DHA multan file is 30.30
